The Slave Market, never was one. 

THE OLDEST HOUSE. No one knows which house in St. Augustine is the oldest. 

HARBOR AND BEACHES. Small steam craft ply between wharves and beaches and other 
points, and may be chartered for excursions. A bridge crosses the Matanzas Bay to 
Anastasia Island, which is thus rendered accessible by foot, carriage or wheel. A railroad 
runs from the bridge to the lighthouse and to the sea beach, some miles beyond. The 
beach affords capital wheeling south to Matanzas Inlet. 

THE SEA-WALL was built by the United States Government in 1835-42. 

THE ST. FRANCIS BARRACKS are at the south end of the Sea-Wall.

Guaninicvim Bridge and Sugar Cane Field — Cuba Railroad. 

THE CUBA RAILROAD. 



This new line, ccjnipleting the railroad connection between Havana and Santiago and Antilla, on the Bay of 
Xipe, is of standard gauge, and similar ui its constructicn and equipment to the better class of northern 
lines. All of its important bridges are of steel and masonry, and the line generally is rock-ballasted. The 
main line passes along *he center of the eastern and wider half of Cuba, and opens up a matchless and 
most picturesque agricultural region, and passes through the tropical forests of mahogany, cedar, lignum 
vit;e, ebony and many other trees, hung with vines and millions of orchids. Palm trees of magnificent 
aspect and great \;.riety abound everywhere. The famed Parana and Guinea grasses, covering most of 
the open districts and standing from six to twelve feet high, and green the year round, together with fre- 
quent running streams, make this an ideal cattle country. No food has to be fut up, and no shelter is 
required. The rich soils everywhere are adapted to sugar, tobacco, cotton, corn and an endless variety of 
products. The swamps which occur at places along the coasts of Cuba are absent from the interior, which 
is high, dry and exceptionally healthy. The trade winds blow across Cuba every day, and bring to all parts 
fresh sea air; the extreme heat of northern summers is consequently unknown, and the humidity of other 
tropical coimtries is also unknown.

IN OLD ST. AUGUSTINE. 





ST. AUGUSTINE. 



ORTIFICATTON and defense were the first thought 
of the Spanish soldiers who founded St. Augustine ; 
and for three centuries the most significant feature 
of the town, which greeted the eye of the traveler as 
he entered the harbor, was the forbidding and por- 
tentous mass of Fort San Marco, set here to chal- 
lenge approach from sea. To-day, as the train 
emerges from the pines and palmettos, our first 
glimpse is of the towers of the great hotels, significant of welcome and hospitality. 
St. Augustine has become a fashionable winter resort, whose spacious .hotels 
dominate the aspect of the surroundings, and in their luxury and magnificence 
have no equals in the world ; it is the winter Newport, whose visitors are numbered 
by tens of thousands, whose private residences are distinguished for elegance and 
comfort. Year by year the city grows more beautiful, and with each innovation 
and transformation adds to its attractiveness. The old has been supplanted by 
rhe new, vet the town preserves a distinctive character all its own, and there is 
now more than ever before about the old city an indefinable charm which leads 
one's thoughts back to it again and gladdens the face that is once more turned 
toward Florida and St. Augustine. 

The distances here are not great. Fort IMarion and the Gateway on the north, 
the sea-wall on the water front, the Plaza in the center, with its Cathedral, the 
narrow streets, and the Barracks on the south— these are the features of the. old 
town in which we shall be interested, and all lie within the limit of a mile. The 
principal streets run north and south ; the cross streets at right angles, east and 
\vest. The main thoroughfare, St. George street, extends through the center of 
the town to the City Gate ; from that point it is known as San Marco avenue. 



THE STANDARD GUIDE. 



cruelty 



Treasury street, crossing St. 
George one block north of the 
Plaza, narrows at the east end 
to an alley, across which two 
persons may clasp hands. King 
street extends w^est from the 
Plaza to the St. Sebastian 
River. The narrow little 
streets, with their foreign 
names and foreign faces, their 
overhanging balconies and 
high garden walls, through 
whose open doors one caught 
glimpses of orange and fig and 
waving banana, were once 
among the quaint characteris- 
tics which made the old Flor- 
ida town charming and pecu- 
liar among all American cities. 
But the picturesque streets, of 
which tourists delighted to 
write, have almost ceased to be 
a pleasing feature of St. Augus- 
tine. Some have been wi- 
dened ; and others, shorn of 
their quaintness, are ill adapt- 
ed to the swelling traf^c. 

A portion of the native pop- 
ulation, distinguished by dark 
eyes and dark complexions, is 
composed of ]\IixoRC.vxs. In 
1769, during the British occu- 
pation, a colony of Alinorcans 
and Majorcans from the Ba- 
learic Islands, in the Alediter- 
ranean Sea, were brought to 
New Smyrna, on the Indian 
River, south of St. Augustine, 
by an English planter named 
Turnbull. They were de- 
ceived by Turnbull and sub- 
jected to gross privations and 
ast deserted New Smyrna in a bod\', came to St. Augustine, were

defended against the claims 
of Turnbull, received an al- 
lotment of land in the town, 
built palmetto-thatched cot- 
tages, and remained here after 
the English emigrated. 

The Fort, the Gateway and 
the old houses are built of 
coouiNA (Spanish, signifying 
shellfish), a native rock found 
on Anastasia Island. It is 
composed of shells and shell 
fragments of great variety of 
form, color and size. Ages 
ago these were washed up in 
enormous Cjuantities by the 
waves, just as masses of sim- 
ilar material are left now on 
the beach, where one may 
walk for miles through the 
loose fragments which under 
favorable conditions would 
in time form coquina stone. 
Cut ofT from the sea, the de- 
posits are in time partially 
dissolved 1iy rain water and 
cemented together. 

The material of which the 
new hotels are built is a com- 
position of sand, Portland 
cement and shells. A wall is 
constructed of successive lay- 
ers of concrete ; as each layer 
hardens a new one is poured 
in on top of it. When com- 
pleted, the wall is one stone; 
indeed, the entire wall con- 
struction of a concrete build- 
ing is one solid mass through- 
out — a monolith, with neither 
joint nor seam. The plastic 
material lends itself admira- 
bly to architectural and deco-

Renaissance, and in wealth 
of exterior decoration siu-

St. Augustine. 

Ancient landmarks are 
disappearing, but the pillars 
of the City Gateway re- 
main as notable monuments 
of the past. Inconsecjuen- 
tial as the towers now ap- 
pear, there was a time when 
they stood out bravely 
enough, and in their se- 
curity St. Augustine rejoiced. In those days they looked out upon a v;ilderness ; 
the belated traveler hurried on to their shelter ; and the town slept securely when 
the Barrier Gate was fast shut against the midnight approach of a foe from with- 
out. Stoutly their walls gave their strength when it was needed, and defended for 
the King of Spain his garrison town in Florida. They have witnessed many a 
narrow escape and many a gallant rescue. More than once have they trembled 
with the shock of assault, and more than once drive'n back the foe repulsed. To- 
day, dismantled and useless, out of keeping with the customs of the day and the 
spirit of the age, long since left behind by the outstretching town, the picturcscjuc 
old ruins linger as cherished landmarks. Here we are on historic ground. 

The gateway is the only conspicuous relic of the elaborate system of fortifica- 
tions which once defended St. Augustine. The town being on a narrow peninsula 
running south, an enemy could ai)proach by land only from the north. Across 
this northern boundarv, east and west, from water to water, ran lines of fortifica- 
tion, which effectually barred approach. From the fort a deep ditch extended 
to the St. Sebastian ; and was defended by a high parapet, with redoubts and bat- 
teries. The ditch was flooded at hidi tide. Entrance to the town was by a draw-

bridge across the moat and through the gate. Earthworks extended along the 
St. Sebastian River in the rear (west) of the town, and around to the Matanzas 
again on the south. The gate was closed at night. Guards were stationed in the 
sentry boxes. Just within the gate was a guard house, with a detachment of 
troops. When the sunset gun was fired, the bridge was raised, the gate was 
barred, and the guards took their stations. When once the gate was closed, the 
belated wayfarer, be he citizen or stranger, must make the best of it without the 
town until morning.

was used as a "slave pen," nor as a "slave market," nor had the Spaniards any- 
thing to do with it, for they had left the country twenty years before it was built. 
The market was built in 1840, for the sale of meat and other food supplies, and it 
was devoted to that use. 

It was not until the influx of curiosity-seekmg tourists, after the Civil War, that 
any one thought 01 dubbing the Plaza market a "slave market." The name was

"Huguenot Cemetery" and "oldest house" yarns have been told so often to 
credulous visitors that there are now some residents of St. Augustine who actually 
almost believe the stories themselves ; but the facts are that St. Augustine never 
had a slave market nor a Huguenot cemetery, and that no one knows 
which house is the oldest.

Extending from Fort Marion south along the water front to the United States 
barracks stands a sea-wall of coquina capped with Xew England granite. It 
affords a necessary protection against the encroachment of the sea ; the site of 
St. Augustine is so low that under certain conditions of wind and tide the waves 
would inundate much of the town. In heavy east storms the water dashes over 
the top of the wall. The need of such a barrier against the sea was recognized at 
an early time. There is a touch of the humorous side of history in the spectacle 
of Spain, having chosen this bit of bdorida soil for a town, Imilding first a fort 
to defend it from invaders, and then a wall to protect it from the inroads of the 
sea. The present wall was built by the United States, in 1835-42, as a complement 
to the repairs of Fort Alarion, at an expense of $100,000. The length is ^ mile, 
the height 10 feet.

THE OLD FIREPLACE IN THE VEDDER MUSEUM. 



The scope of the influence of the St. Augustine Institute of Science and 
Historical Society has been greatly enlarged by the purchase of the well-known 
Vedder Collection in Natural History. This collection, to which the late Dr. 
Vedder had devoted many years of his life, covers very completely the natural 
history of Florida. And now that this has been added to the Geological Arche- 
ological, Mineralogical and Historical Collection, the Society has a solid founda- 
tion that will eventually develop into a collection of the greatest value to both 
the man of science and the historian as well. It is the only attempt of the kind 
made anywhere in the State of Florida, and as such deserves the most hearty 
support both from the citizens of Florida and from those who seek the State 
and city for health and pleasure. The fact that the Aluseum is in an old historic 
house that has never been remodeled gives an added attraction to the sightseer 
and antiquarian. Our illustration shows one of the Museum rooms containing 
the old fireplace just as it has been used for so many years. As one of the cocjuina 
houses of a type that is rapidly disappearing, the building itself is worth visiting. 
The Museum is on Bay street at the corner of Treasury street, one block north

FORT MARION LOOKING TOWARD THE SEA. 



Fort Marion is at the north end of the sea-wall and commands the harbor. 
It is open daily (admission h'ee) from 8 A. M. to 4 P. M. xA.fternoon is the most 
pleasant time for seeing the fort. The sergeant in charge conducts visitors 
through the casemates. 

The fort, which is the only example of mediaeval fortification on this continent, 
is a fine specimen of the art of military engineering as developed at the time of 
2ts construction. It is a massive structure of coquina stone, with curtains, 
bastions, moat and outworks. 

Surrounding the fort on the three land sides is an immense artificial hill of earth, called the 
glacis. From the crest of the glacis on the southeast, a bridge, formerly a drawbridge, leads 
across part of the moat to the barbacan. The barbacan is a fortification, surrounded by the 
moat, directly in front of the fort entrance, which it was designed to protect. In the barbacan 
at the stairway are the Arms of Spain. A second bridge, originally a drawbridge, leads from 
the barbacan across the wide moat to the sally-port, which is the only entrance to the fort. 
This was provided with a heavy door, called the portcullis. On the outer wall, above the 
sally-port, is the escutcheon, bearing the Arms of Spain; and the Spanish legend, wliicii read:

"Don Ferdinand VI., being King of Spain, and the Field Marshal DonAlonzo Fernando Hereda being 
Governor and Captain-General of this place, San Augustin of Florida, and its province, this fort was finished 
in the year 1 756. The works were directed by the Captain-Engineer Don Pedro de Brozas of Garay " 



ST. AUGUSTINE.

Within the fort on the right of the entrance hall is the old bake room, and beyond this 
are two dark chambers, which were used for storage. On the left is the guards' room. The 
hall opens upon a large square court (103 by 109 feet). Around this court are casemates 
or rooms which were used for barracks, messrooms, storerooms, etc. Some of the casemates 
were divided into lower and upper apartments. A beam of light is admitted through a nar- 
row window or embrasure, high up near the arched ceiling. From the first east casemate 
a door leads back into an interior dark room. From the furthest casemate on the same 
side an entrance leads back into a dark chamber, off from which a narrow passage leads 
through a wall 5 feet deep into a space 6 feet wide; and from this a low aperture 2 feet 
square gives access througli another wall 5 feet deep, into an innermost vault or chamber, 
which is 19^ feet long. 13 2-3 feet broad, and 8 feet high. The arched roof is of solid 
masonry. There is no other outlet than the single aperture. This is the so-called "dungeon" 
of Fort Marion. It was designed for a powder magazine or bomb-proof. When the fort was 
in repair the chamber was dry and fit for use as a safe deposit for explosives; but when the 
water from above percolated through the coquina, this bomb-proof or powder magazine 
became damp and unwholesome. For this reason it was no longer used except as a place 
to throw rubbish into. Then it bred fevers, and finally, as a sanitary measure, the Spaniards 
walled it up, and the middle room as well. They did this in the readiest way by closing the 

entrances with coquina ma- 
sonry. When the United 
States came into possession 
of the fort the ofificers sta- 
tioned here did not suspect 
the existence of these disused 
chambers, although among 
the residents of the town were 
men who had knowledge of 
them and of their prosaic use 
as deposits for rubbish. One 
of these residents once related 
to the writer his recollection 
of the disused powder maga- 
zine, as he was familiar with 
it when, as a boy, he was em- 
ployed at the fort. In 1839 
the masonry above the middle 
chamber caved in, and while 
the engineers were making 
repairs the closed entrance to 
the innermost chamber was 
noticed, and investigation led 
to its discovery. Refuse and 
rubbish were found there. The 
report was given out — whether 
at the time or later — that in 
this rubbish were some bones. 
From this insignificant begin- 
ning the myth-makers evolved 
first the tale that the bones 
were human, then they added 
a rusty chain and a staple in 
the wall, a gold ring on one

court on the north is the chapel. 
In the wall of the court oppo- 
site, the French astronomers- 
who came here in 1879 to ob- 
serve the transit of Venus have 
left a marble tablet in commem- 
oration of their visit. In the 
northwest bastion is another 
dark room. Casemate loc is 
known as "Coacoochee's cell." 
Coacoochee was a Seminole 
chief, who at one time during 
the Seminole War was confined 
here ; and with a companion 
made his escape by squeezing 
through the embrasure and drop- 
ping to the moat. The Seminole 
chief Osceola was also a pris- 
oner in Fort Marion, whence he 
was removed to Fort ^^loultrie, 
in Charleston Harbor, where he 
died. 

From the court a stone ascent 
leads up to the terreplein of the 
ramparts. This ascent was orig- 
inally an inclined plane for ar- 
tillery. At the outer angle of 
each bastion is a sentry box. 
The four walls of the fort between the bastions arc the curtains. The walls are g feet thick 
at base, 4'j at top, and 25 feet high above the present moat level. The bastions are filled

with earth. The fort is surrounded by a moat, 40 feet wide, formerly deeper than at present, 
with a cemented concrete floor, and flooded from the bay at high tide. Along the outer 
edge of the moat are narrow level spaces called covered-ways; and wider levels called 
places-of-arms. where artillery was mounted and the troops gathered, protected by the outer 
wall or parapet, from which slopes the glacis. The fortification of stone (water battery) in 
front was built by the United States in 1842. The small brick building (hot shot furnace) 
in the moat dates from 1844. 

In different forms and bearing different names, the fort has been estabHshed 
more than three centuries. For two hundred years the fort was St. Augustine, and 
St. Augustine was Florida. At first a rude and temporary structure of pine logs,

the fortification expanded in magnitude until it developed into the great stone 
fortress. In the years of its building the progress of such a work was slow. Con- 
victs from Spain and Mexico, and Indians and slaves, quarried the stone on 
Anastasia Island, ferried it across the bay, and toiled at the walls ; and it was not 
until the year 1756 that the work was considered finished. The story goes that the 
King of Spain, counting up the cost, fancied that the fort must have been built

of gold ; and we may well imagine that successive Governors-General filled their 
pockets out of the job and went home rich men. 

The walls are built of coquina, which in its day was considered a very excellent 
material for this purpose, since cannon balls would sink into the wall without 
shattering it as they would harder stone. On the sea front of the southwest 
bastion are crevices, which according to local tradition were caused by British 
cannon balls from the opposite shore when the town was besieged by Oglethorpe, 
who in 1 740 landed a force on Anastasia Island and bombarded the fort for forty 
days. In that age of crude artillery the coquina bastions were capable of with- 
standing a much more serious attack than that of Oglethorpe's batteries ; but the 
art of war has changed since then, and Fort Marion would quickly be shattered 
by modern guns. 

Shortly after coming into the possession of the United States, the fort was 
named Fort Marion, in honor of the Revolutionarv hero. General Francis Marion,

St. Anastasia Island, lying in front of the town, between bay and ocean, is 
a favorite resort for excursion parties, and has many attractions for the tourist. 
The most pleasant time for a visit is the afternoon. The route is by bridge from 
King street, and rail, drive or cycle path. The Lighthouse is usually 
open to visitors. The light is a fixed white and revolving flash light, flashing 
once every 3 minutes, and is visible 19 miles. The purpose of the variability of the 
light is to render it distinguishable from others. Thus, while the St. Augustine 
light is a fixed white light varied by a flash every 3 minutes, the St. Johns River 
light, the next one north, is a fixed white light ; and the Cape Canaveral light, 
the second one south, flashes every minute. The black and white spiral stripes, 
which make the tower look like a grotesque Brobdingnagian barber's pole, dis- 
tinguish it from others by day ; the tower of the St. Johns River light is red ; that 
of the Cape Canaveral light has black and white horizontal bands. 

Anastasia Island extends from St. Augustine south 12 miles to Matanzas 
Inlet, where there are picturesque ruins of an old Spanish fort which defended 
the sea approach to the town from the south. The name Matanzas (from the 
Spanish Matanza — slaughter) commemorates the massacre of the Huguenots, 
which occurred here in the year 1565, an event connected with the founding of 
St. Augustine by Pedro Menendez. The French Huguenots had established a 
settlement on the River St. Johns, and in 1565 Menendez came with a Spanish 
force to drive them out. He landed at the Indian village of Seloy, and on 
its site founded St. Augustine. The French, leaving a garrison in their Fort 
Caroline, sailed to attack St. Augustine, but their ships were driven south by a 
storm. Thereupon Menendez marched to the St. Johns, captured the French 
fort and put the garrison to death. Upon his return to St. Augustine he learned 
that the French fleet had been wrecked on the coast. He proceeded south to 
this inlet, discovered the Frenchmen on the other side, and by false promises in- 
duced them to surrender and deliver up their arms. Then he sent them boats, 
brought them, over in small bands at a time, bound them, blindfolded them, led 
them behind the sand hills, and there in the name of religion put them to death.

It has been the fashion in describing St. Augustine to lav emphasis on its 
Spanish character. With the one exception of the fort, however, no specially 
notable example of Spanish architecture was to be found here. Throughout the

natural conditions were wanting. The sky above St. Augustine arches as deli- 
cately blue and soft as th.at of Seville. The sunlight is as warm and as golden as 
that which floods the patios of Spanish Alcazars. The Florida heavens are as 
radiantly brilliant by night, and the full moon floats as luminously above the 
Atlantic coast, as where the pinnacles and minarets of Valencia glitter in its 
beams on the Mediterranean shore. Add to these natural adaptations the historic 
associations of Spain and the Spaniards, and there is little room for wonder that 
the visitor looked for some architectural monuments other than gloomy fortifica- 
tions to commemorate the dignity and pride of the ancient Spanish rule. 



30 THE STANDARD GUIDE. 

Some such reflections as these, perhaps, prompted the designers of the 
projected Ponce de Leon to look to the architecture of Spain for the st34e most 
appropriate for the structure. They found it in the Spanish Renaissance ; and 
this was weh chosen, for it was the style of which the development coincided with 
the most glorious period of S])anish histor}'. 

The historic syml)olism of the decoration is to be observed at the very gateway 
of the court in the lion's masque which ornaments each of the gateposts. It is 
the heraldic lion of Leon, that sturdy Spanish town which so long and so bravely 
withstood the Moors: and an emblem, too, of the doughty warrior, Juan Ponce 
de Leon, proclaimed in his epitaph "a lion in name and a lion in heart." Above 
the arch of the gateway, repeated in tlie spandrels of the panel arches, is the 
stag's head, which was the sacred totem of Seloy, the Indian village on whose 
site St. Augustine was built. From the gateway of the court the towers are seen 
for the first time in their full proportions. Each side of the square tower is 
pierced near the top with an arched v/indow, opening upon a balcony, reminding 
us of the balconies of Mohammedan mosques ; and from them, at morning, noon 
or nightfall, we might almost expect to hear the muezzin's call to prayer. Cross- 
ing the court, past the fountain, we approach the grand entrance. This is a full- 
centered arch, 20 feet wide. Around the face of the arch, in a broad band, carved 
in relief on a row of shields, a letter to a shield, runs the legend. Police dc Lcoii. 
Garlands depend from the shields, which are supported by mermaids. This is 
another suggestion of tlie sea as the source whence came the shell composite of 
the hotel walls ; and also of the sea as the field of Ponce de Leon's achievements. 
The suggestion is further emphasized in the shell-pattern in the spandrels of the 
arch, and yet again in the marine devices of the coats-of-arms on the two shields. 
The other entrances, on the east and west, should have attention before we leave 
the court. In the wall, on each side of the doorway, is a deep fountain niche. 
The water issues from the mouth of a dolphin. Above the door, in the key of the 
arch, is a shield with a shell device, and medallions with Spanish proverbs occupy 
the spandrels. The dolphins of the fountain niches have special appropriateness ; 
they are not only typical of the sea, but have a local significance as well, for the 
bay of St. Augustine once bore the name River of Dolphins, given it l\v 
Laudonniere, the Huguenot captain, who anchored his ships here in 1564. The 
allusion to the sea. in the dolphins and the shells, is a motive repeated again and 
again throughout the hotel ; even the door knobs are modeled after shells. 

Wdiile the decorations of the rotunda are true to the Spanish Renaissance style, 
tlie motives for them have been found in the Spain and the Florida of the 
sixteenth century; the symbolism is of the spirit of that age and the impulses 
which then held sway. Painted on the pendentives of the cove ceiling of the 
second storv are female figures tyi)ical of Adventure. Discovery. Conquest. 
Civilization, h'our other figures represent the elements. Earth, Air, Fire, and

Where this appears, the design of the border is the Collar of the Golden Fleece, 
the chain of double steels interlaced with flint-stones. 

Below in the spandrels of the corridor arches is seen the stag's head, the 
barbaric emblem of the Sun-worshiping Indians. Shields bear the arms of the 
present provinces of Spain, and on cartouches are emblazoned the names of the 
great discoverers of America. Cornucopias are favorite forms here, as else- 
where throughout the hotel. 

The upper dome is modeled in high relief ; around its base dances a band of 
laughing Cupids ; between these figures are circular openings ; and the vault 
above is all modeled with delicate tracery of pure white and gold effects ; casques 
and sails signify the military and maritime achievements of Spain ; and the crown 
of the dome is surrounded with eagles.

A l)road stairway of marble and Mexican onyx leads to a landing, Irom which

extend clusters of luscious grapes, and bread and cups of wine in welcome to the 
guests, while others ladle steaming olla from great Spanish caldcroiis. On the wall 
above are pictured ships of Spain, with sails full set and gracefully waving 
streamers and pennants; they are the high-pooped Spanish caravels of the six- 
teenth century, just such vessels as that in which Ponce de Leon came to Florida 
in his search for the fountain. On the pendentives between the stained-glass 
windows, allegorical paintings represent the Four Seasons. The grand parlor 
decorations are in ivory-white and gold, with frescoes by Tojetti of Cupids and

On the south side of King street, opposite the Ponce de Leon, is the Alcazar, 
an adjunct of the hotel, and in architecture a fitting complement of it. The 
Alcazar is of Spanish Renaissance style, and of a design which, like that of the 
Ponce de Leon, is original throughout. Within is a court of flowers, shrubber}- 
and vines, with a fountain playing in the center. The court— not unworthy to be 
compared with the patios of the Alcazars in Spain — is surrounded by an arcade, 
upon which open shops and offices. Beyond is the Casino, in which are the great 
swinuning pools of sulphur water from the artesian wells. 

The group of concrete hotels on the Alameda is completed by the Hotel 
Cordova. In style it does not follow the Spanish Renaissance architecture; the 
suggestions for the heavy walls and battlemented towers were found in the strong 
castles and town defenses of Spain ; it recalls those architectural monuments of 
the warring ages of the past ; vast piles of masonry, which grew with the incre- 
ments of hundreds of years, amid the conflicts of Roman and Goth and Moor and 
Christian. Thus the archway on the north fagade, formerly a gateway, flanked by 
massive towers round and square, was an adaptation of the Puerto del Sol, or 
Gate of the Sun, of Toledo, one of the famous remains of the Moorish dominion 
in Spain. The balconies of the lower range of windows are the "kneeling bal- 
conies" of Seville, so called because the protruding base was devised by Michael 
Angelo to permit the faithful to kneel at the passing of religious festivals. 

The Cordova and the Villa Zorayda were designed and built by Mr. Franklin 
W. Smith, who built also the House of Pansa, Saratoga, and is widely known as 
the originator of proposed Galleries of History and Art at Washington, for the 
promotion of which he has built the Halls of the Ancients in that city.

Charleston and New York, and the Clyde's St. John's River steamers ascend the 
river to Sanford, and the Independent Line of steamboats to Green Cove Sprin.gs. 
The great fire of 1900 swept over a large area of the city, entirely destroying 145 
blocks, and blotting out many of the familiar landmarks ; but from the ruins a 
new Jacksonville has arisen, more substantial, and in time to be more attractive 
than the old. The city has enjoyed long-established popularity as a tourist 
resort, and ample provision is made for the comfort of visitors. It has well 
]javed streets, shaded by live oaks and other foliage trees, and there are many 
pleasant drives in the suburbs. A place of much interest is the Florida Ostrich 
Farm, where the breeding of ost/':hes for their feathers is an established and 
successful industry. Ostrich cult\i:e may here be studied in all stages, from the 
giant Qgg to the plucked plumes. 

Going south from St. Augustine, one comes first to Palatka, on the St. Johr.'s 
River, twenty-eight miles from St. Augustine via the East Coast Railway, and 
fifty-six miles from Jacksonville. Palatka is an attractive and fiourishing city, 
and the walks and drives in all directions are romantic and beautiful. Rowboats 
and small steamers can be leased for excursions to points on the St. John's River. 
The city is the point of departure for the ( )cklawaha steamboats.

THE STANDARD GUIDE. 




SILVER SPRING. 



The ( )ckla\\ aha Iviner Tour affords a revelation of some of the wildest and 
most novel scenery in the State, and an experience never to be forgotten. The 
river is navigated by the tourist steamers of the Ocklawaha River lines, from 
I'alatka and Silver Springs, railroad connection being made at each of these 
])oints. (See time cards in our advertising pages.) The steamboats are lighted 
on their wa\' through the night, and the excursion is one which remains in 
memory as tlie weirdest experience of a lifetime. The stream is narrow and 
extremely tortuous, and is overarched by giant oaks, magnolias, palmettos, 
cypresses, ba\s and other trees, all festooned with. "Spanish moss" in profusion. 
Ihe effect by daylight is novel and fascinating, and by night it is fantastic, 
mysterious and l)ewildering l)eyond description. Silver Spring is a circular 
!)asin, 600 feet in diameter, of water of wonderful clearness, which bursts up in 
a great Hood from a (le])th of 65 feet, in such volume as to form the navigable 
river by which the steamboat has entered the si)ring. So clear is the spring, 
that Irom a l)oat the smallest objects can l)e seen at the bottom, and a nail may 
be watched all the wa_\- as it goes down, turning and darting in erratic course.

records of the temperature show that the April averages are : 8 A. M., 69° ; 
12 M., 7s° ; 8 P. M., 68', and the mean for the month, 70°. 

The walks in all directions are singularly attractive, being either shelled or 
planked over sandy spots, and provided with numerous rustic seats and arbors 
along the shaded river banks or through the trails across the half-mile peninsula 
that connects the river with the ocean. Ormond is famous for its drives and its 
bicycle paths and beaches. There is no finer beach anywhere on the Atlantic 
shore than at Ormond. It is 250 feet wide at mean tide, and extends for many 
miles up and down the coast. It is lively with all sorts of pleasure carriages, 
automobiles, electric bicycles and bathers. The tally-ho hardly leaves a mark on 
the smooth surface of the magnificent beach. This is the famous Ormond- 
Daytona automobile speeding course, which holds the world's record for the 
straightaway mile : 39 seconds, made by Air. William K. \'anderbilt, Jr., in the 
winter of 1904. The annual tournaments of the Florida East Coast Automobile 
Association is one of the most important events in the world of sport, and 
brings together the foremost drivers of the world. The Association has a 
handsome $15,000 clul) house on the bluff overlooking the beach courses. Tlie 
Ormond-Daytona meet is so important that the publishers of the SxAxnARi. 
Guide issue each winter the Florida Auto Axxual, devoted to the Florida 
racing and allied auto interests. 

Sea bathing is a feature of Ormond. The beach, from the sandy bluff to the 
lowest point at ebb tide, is about 500 feet, and the slope is very gradual, and the 
incoming waves are gentle, so that the most timid and inexpert mav here find

the water perfectly safe. The l)each also is attractive in the variety of beautiful 
shells that are swept up at the high tides. The exquisite nautilus is here cast 
ashore in storms, and searchers haunt the shore eager for the coveted prize. 

The greatest inland water attraction of Ormond is the Tomoka River, once 
tile chosen resort of the Tomoka tribe of Indians. Black bass from three to six 
pounds in weight abound in its deep, still waters ; red bass are taken near its 
mouth, and there are many alligators in the stream. The high, wooded bluffs 
afford drv and picturesque camping grounds. The scenery of the river is varied 
and charming; and the one-day trip up the Tomoka is one of the popular excur- 
sions from Ormond. It may easily be reached by carriage or boat. Steamboat 
excursions up the Tomoka are made daily during the season. 

Daytona, five miles to the south of Ormond, occupies an elevated hanun(^ck 
site on a circling arm of the lialifax, whence it looks out upon a bay of singular 
beauty. The natural attractions are many — a clean, hard river shore, shady 
d.rives amid oaks and i)almettos, and the Ormc^nd-Daxtona beach. SeabkekzI': 
is a winter colony of cottages and hotels on the ocean side of the peninsula, 
Daytona and Sealireeze being connected by bridges. On the ocean side of the 
peninsula the Ormond-Daytona beach, wTncli is wonderfully hard and smooth. 
stretches for thirty miles withoi't a l)reak in its e\'en surface, on which the hoof 
of a trotting" horse makes no impression.

Daytonawas founded in 1870 by Alathias Day, of Mansfield, O., who named it 
Tomoka ; but in 1871 Thomas Saunders, the landscape gardener of Washington, 
gave it the name Daytona. The founders set out to make a New England set- 
tlement in the South, and the thriving, prosperous and growing village, which 
is essentially one of homes, is marked l)y the best characteristics of Massachu- 
setts t(jwn life. Something of its ])eauty is hinted in our illustration of Ridge- 
wood avenue, one of the many avenues and streets for which Daytona is famous. 
Opportunities for the wheelman are afforded, in miles of shady roads and cycle 
])aths, and tlie visitor who comes here from a liome town where cycling has "died 
out"' is pleasantly surprised to see the number of wheels in use. Automobiles 
arc numerous ; there are many miles of roads through the woods and along the 
river, comijlementing tlie Ijeach courses. 

Excursions are made from C)rmond, Daytona and Seabreeze south to Ponce 
Park, at Mosquito Inlet, eleven miles from Daytona, one of the finest fishing 
grounds on the Coast. 

Ihe Halifax affords opportunities for sailing, and there is a large fleet of 
pleasure craft. The fishing for salt-water species is capital, the fish taken 
com])rising drum, sheepshead, sea ])ass, p()m])an(). cavalle and other varieties.

THE ROCKLEDGE SHOkK 



New S.mvkna, thirteen miles further south, on Hillsljorough River, is the 
oldest settlement on the East Coast south of St. Augustine ; and is historically 
famous for the Greek and Minorcan colony, 1,500 strong, established by Dr. 
Turnbull in 1767. All along the river bank for four miles north and three miles 
south are scattered the ruins of old Minorcan houses, with coquina stone floors, 
chimneys and wells, curbed with hewn stone. The drainage canals, indigo vats 
and ruins of old sugar mills indicate large industries. Other ruins known as the 
"Spanish Mission," or "Columbus Chapel," and "Rock House" are by some 
people thought to antedate the time of Turnbull. The New Smyrna stretches 
south for miles, with a firm, smooth surface, and is lined along the bluffs with 
the cottages of Coronado and other summer and winter residence colonies. New 
Smyrna is an outfitting point for fishing and camping parties. 

From New Smyrna a branch line of the Florida East Coast Railway System 
runs to Blue Springs, on the St. John's River, thirty-two miles west. This is the 
route to De Land and to Lake Helen. 

RocKLEDGE is named from the bold coquina ledges, which lend a picturesque 
beauty to the shore line. The foot walk for several miles on the high river bank, 
leading through one splendid orange grove to another, is very fascinating. There 
is a grand outlook across the river to Merritt's Island, which is also populous with 
villas, groves and gardens. The sailboats and rowboats and launches, the 
pedestrian parties one continually meets on the river path, the well-contented 
occupants of the elegant mansions that front the river adjoining on their broad 
verandas, the dolcc far iiicnfc leisure of the Rockledge winter resident, the crange

pickers amid the golden fruit, and the skihed landscape gardening that emblazons 
the walks and grounds of the hotels with brilliant tropical flowers, all unite to 
make Rockledge deservedly and permanently popular with winter tourists. A 
favorite excursion is to the beautiful estate well named Fairyland. The pineapple 
growing district extends from here south to Palm Beach and beyond. 

The lagoons, commonly known as the Ixdian River, make a continuous 
stretch of water scenery for more than 250 miles, and wdth Biscayne Bay, now 
united with Lake Worth, give an uninterrupted water course of 350 miles, com- 
bining more of fascinating variety and beauty than any other in the United States. 
These connected inland waters vary from weird and twisting narrows too feet in 
width to spreading lake-like expanses from three to six miles wide. Sometimes 
they look out of inlets upon the ocean, and again into the mouths of winding 
creeks or fresh-water rivers that break the western shore. At one point the 
Indian River channels separate and wind among wooded islands, making one 
think of the lochs of Scotland.

the pineapple district. The section is one of interest, too, because of the rehcs 
of a bygone age and a vanished people ; there are Indian mounds, and the earth- 
works of old Fort Pierce, suggestive memorials of the days when the Seminoles 
were making a hopeless stand against fate. Back of Fort I'icrce is the home of 
one branch of the Seminole Indians, and they may here often be seen trading 
their alligator skins, plumes and game for ammunition and supplies. 

Lake Worth and Palm Beach. — Southward 300 miles from Jacksonville is 
Palm Beach, on Lake Worth. Plere we enter the cocoanut region and the trop- 
ical paradise of Florida. Lake \A'orth is, like the other waters of the Indian River 
system, a salt-water lagoon, twenty-two miles long by an average of a mile in 
widtli, and separated from the xA.tlantic Ocean by a peninsula about a mile wide. 
Here is situated the Royal Poinciana, one of the largest hotels in the world, 
and royal indeed in respect both of its entirely unicjue surroundings and its 
magnificent appointments. Fronting the beautiful lake and commanding also 
the ocean view, it has the peculiar advantage of a lordly grove of cocoanut palms 
and the finest environments of tropical gardening. The magnificent hotel does 
not stand alone in respect of such environments ; for several miles along the lake 
front range other beautiful and highly improved estates with similar adornments 
of cocoanut palms and a great variety of other tropical flora. 

The climate is very greatly influenced and tempered both ii: winter and sum- 
mer by the Gulf Stream, which passes close to the shore at this point. The nor- 
mal winter temperature is about 70 to 75 degrees.

PALM BEACH, LAKE WORTH, SHOWING WHITEHALL, RESIDENCE OF MR. HENRY M. FLAGLER. 



Whitehall, one of the stately homes of America, is appropriately in the Spanish style of architecture, 
the house, built around an interior court or patio, and having for external features the columned portico, 
pure white walls and red tiled roof glowing against the sky. The entrance hall, 110 feet long, with grand 
marble stairway and domed ceiling, opens into apartments treated in various styles of decoration and 
furnishing — the Library in that of the Italian Renaissance, the Salon in that of the period of Louis X\"L, 
the ballroom, in white and gold, in the style of Louis XV., the dining room in that of Francois I. 

Tropical plants and trees from all parts of the world are gathered here. 
Walks shaded by groves of cocoanut palms are laid out in geometrical patterns, 
bordered with concrete curbs, and with lawns protected by curved sea-walls of 
concrete and coquina on the hke front. Oleanders, hibiscus and passion flowers 
are in bloom. Mangoes, guavas, limes, lemons, oranges, figs, sapodillas, date 
palms, bananas, pineapples and early vegetables are common in all the gardens: 
some have strawberries ripe in January, and tomatoes in abundance in ?klarch. 
Rubber trees, royal poinciana, paradise, coffee, traveler's and numbers of curious 
trees ornament the gardens, and the gnarled, straggling arms of great live oaks, 
cove'-ed with knobs and bunches of two varietes of orchids and hanging moss, by 
weird contrast add to the l^eauties. Walks twenty feet wide and a half mile long, 
bordered with cocoanut palms, oleanders and azaleas, lead from the lake to the 
ocean with a steep and narrow beach, upon which with a magnificent surf the 
sea 1)reaks. in color a clear, bright, ultramarine blue. 

Palm Beach owes to a shipwreck the cocoanut trees which have given to it

distinguishing beauty and name. Years ago the Spanish brig Providencia, 
cocoanut-laden, was cast away off this coast, and the cocoanuts were washed 
ashore to find growth in a congenial soil. There was quite as much romance in 
the coming of the date pahn lo hlorida ; from Syria the conquering Moors carried 
it to Spain ; and from Spain the Spaniards brought it here. The sago, fan, roya! 
and ether palms have been introduced. The palms indigenous to Florida include 
tlie low saw or scrub palmetto, which covers vast areas of the State ; and the 
cabbage palmetto, so called because of the cabbage-like growth, which is edible. 
There are other palms on the Keys. 

On the western shore of the lake are large pineapple plantations, each year 
increasing in numbers and in production. Thirty miles to the west is Lake 
Okeechobee, with settlements of the Seminole Indians, of whom some notes are 
given on another page. Lake Wortli and its vicinity, like all the southern East 
Coast country, has developed rapidly since the advent of the railway, which has 
converted it from a region secluded because difificult of access, and has put it in 
quick touch with the rest of the world.

The lake front north and south of the Royal Poinciana grounds is lined with 
handsome winter homes. South of Whitehall are the Belford, Hood, Pendleton, 
Clarke and Roberts residences. The five rusty relics of cannon on the water 
front came from a Spanish wreck about twelve miles south. The two Spanish 
cannon from Morro Castle were brought here by Mr. C. j. Clarke, of Pittsburg. 
A mile ucjrth of the hotel grounds is the church of fiethesda-by-the-Sea. 

Nearly all the sea fish are found in the lake, such as bluefish, spotted sea trout. 
cavalle, red snapper, barracuda, jjompano, sawfish, mullet and redfish, or channel 
l)ass. Tar])on are not found here, although they are caught north and south (jif

Indians, and bare-legged individuals of the tribe may usually be seen from the

Thirty-nine miles south of Palm Beach, on Biscayne Bay, is Miami, the magic 
city, as its citizens call it, not without reason. Its growth has been like that oi 
a western mushroom town, l)ut the development is of the most substantial and 
permanent character. Miami is thoroughly modern and up to date, with fine 
.streets, well-stocked business establishments, handsome residences, costly public 
buildings, banks, churches, schools, mills and factories, a constantly enlarging 
variety of industries and important and growing trade interests. The geograph- 
ical situation makes it the center of a large territory, which is directly trilmtary 
to it; and as the country is settling up and developing, Miami is making com- 
mensurate and enduring growth. The prevailing spirit of the town is of enter- 
prise, progress and prosperity. As the southernmost deep-water harbor on the 
Atlantic coast, it is the point of departure of the P. «& O. steamships for Nassau 
and Havana. The future importance of the port is assured, and in recognition 
of this fact, the Government is cutting a new entrance from the sea to the bay 
through the peninsula directly opposite the city, and the Florida East Coast 
Railway is engaged in dredging out a connecting channel. 

The Royal Palm at Miami, the southernmost of the chain of the East Coast 
liotel system, occupies a noble site at the point where the Miami River enters 
the bay, a situation long noted as one of the loveliest spots of all the Biscayne 
shore. The verandas and windows command an outlook over bay and sea, and 
the immense structure effectually dominates the surroundings. The grounds 
are laid out in landscape garden efifects, and oddly enough the palm trees are 
not ro}al palms, but cocoanuts. 




OLD FORT DALLAS. 
Copyright, 1904, by the Rotograph Co. 

The Miami River, which is the principal eastern ch'ainage stream of the Ever- 
glades, at a point four miles from Fort Dallas, narrowing in its bed and rushing 
in tumbling, swirling, foaming rapids over coral rock, presents a genuine novelty 
in this land of smooth-flowing waters. Arch Creek, another outlet of the Ever- 
glades, takes its name from an arch of coral. Boating, sailing and tishing are 
favorite amusements at Miami, and there is maintined a large fleet of launches 
and dories for the winter season. Sailing and fishing excursions are made to 
Soldier Key, fifteen miles, south of Cape Florida ; Norris Cut, Fowey Rock, 
twelve miles; Arch Creek, five hours; the House of Refuge, seven miles; Cape 
bdorida Light, up the Miami River, and to other points. Excellent roads have 
been built to Cocoanut Grove and beyond to the south, and north and west 
through the native woods and amid fruit groves and vegetable farms.

Bay Bjscavxe is a lagoon sheltered from the Atlantie by numerous keys and 
coral islands ; it is forty miles in length and from five to ten miles wide, with a 
prevailing depth of from six to ten feet; the shores are lined with palms and 
mangroves, and a profusion and variety of tropical growth ; the blue water is of 
remarkable clearness. These elements unite to make the bay one of the most 
beautiful cruising grounds in the world ; and many yachts have their winter 
rendezvous here. On the west shore, at Cocoanut Grove, embowered amid 
cocoanuts and royal palms, is the club house of the Bay Biscayne Yacht Club, 
whose pennant bears the legend, "25 Degrees North Lat. B. B. Y. C." The 
water of the bay is of such crystal clearness that it reveals, even to great depths, 
the wealth of vegetable and animal life everywhere present. This submarine 
I'.fe is a never-failing attraction ; there are portions of Bay Bisca\ne, notal)ly the 
Turtle Harbor, which rival the far-famed sea gardens of Nassau.

iiiE Semixoi^e Ixdi.nxs are seen at various points on the East Coast from Fort 
I'ierce south to Biscayne Bay. They are the survivors in Florida of a tribe wliich 
once engaged the anxious attention of the entire country. In 1835 disputes over 
the boundaries of the Indian reservations and quarrels over fugitive slaves, which 
the Seminoles were accused of harboring, led to the Seminole War — the most 
costly and disastrous of the minor wars of the United States. At the end of seven 
years, in 1842, the Indians were subdued, captured and transported to the reser- 
vation assigned them, where the remnant yet remain in the Indian Territory. A 
portion of the tribe evaded deportation and betook themselves to this Southern 
country. They hid in the wilderness Everglades and still remain in tacit rebellion, 
and regard the white man with suspicious enmity. While one nation, they are 
divided into th.ree tribes — the Big Cypress. Cow Creek and Miamis. The Big 
Cypress Indians live in the vicinity of Fort Alyers, between Caloosahatchee 
River and the Gulf of Mexico ; the ]\liamis live back of Miami, on Biscayne Bay ; 
and the Cow Creeks are situated back of Fort Pierce and the St. Lucie River, 
which empties into the Indian River. They have no reservation, no land has ever 
been assigned them by the Government. Their dwellings are palmetto huts and 
framed houses ; they have horses, dogs, pigs and cattle ; and raise corn, sweet 
potatoes and other vegetables. Flour or starch made from the coontie or wild 
cassava has always been a staple article of food. The Florida Indians have cul- 
tivated the soil from primitive days.

The St, John's River. — The tourist will hardly be satisfied with the glimpses 
of this noble stream obtained from the car window as the train crosses it at 
Jacksonville or Palatka, but will plan an excursion by steamboat, in which way 
alone the picturescjue features of the river may be seen. The lower portions of 
the St. John's are a succession of magnificent reaches, or inland seas, the shores 
Imed with forests of live oak, sweet gnm, pine, magnolia and palmettos. In its 
upper (southern) portion the vegetation becomes more tropical ; the river now 
narrows to a tortuous passage and again opens into beautiful lakes, and the 
traveler is charmed with the novel scenery and the changing panorama. 

Magnolia Springs, situated on the west bank of the St. John's River, 
twenty-eight miles south of Jacksonville, reached by the Atlantic Coast Line, 
or by river steamers, is one of the older tourists resorts. It won its fame in the 
old days before the improved means of travel had lured so many to the new re- 
gion further south ; but its attractions are as strong to-day as ever before for 
visitors who have once looked out over the noble reaches of the river from the 
shaded banks of Magnolia. The St. John's River at this point broadens out into 
a sheet of water three miles wide, having much the appearance of a lake, which. 
together with the numerous creeks, furnishes alntndant opportunity for boating. 
The Mas:nolia tennis courts have been the scene of some of the most successful

tournaments held in the South ; and the golf links, of nine holes, rank as among 
the most attractive in Florida. Shooting and fishing are excellent in the imme- 
diate vicinity. JMagnolia Springs takes its name from a magnificent spring, whose 
waters, besides being remarkable for their purity and excellence as table waters, 
have well-attested therapeutic qualities, especially in rheumatic affections. Ont 
of the favorite walks from Magnolia is St. David's Path, or Lovers' Lane (everi 
well-ordered resort in Florida has a Lovers' Lane), which leads for a mile and a 
half along the forested banks of the St. John's to Green Cove Springs. 

De Land is situated in the orange grove section, between the St. John's River 
and the Atlantic Ocean, 100 miles south of Jacksonville, on the Atlantic Coast 
Line. The town is noted for its salubrious climate and healthfulncss, and for 
the enterprise, intelligence and high character of its people. The city is for miles 
surrounded by forests of the yellow southern pine, enriching the air with balsam. 
The atmosphere at De Land is, for Florida, remarkably dry. No lakes, rivers or 
swamps are in the immediate vicinity, and the deep deposit of porous sand pro- 
vides perfect surface drainage. Shade trees are abundant. Rows of substantial 
brick business buildings, all occupied, give the city an aspect of prosperity, which 
is enhanced by the numerous tasteful, comfortable houses, with their well-kept 
lawns which line the residence streets. De Land is the seat of the John B. 
Stetson University, which has a group of massive and beautiful buildings, cost- 
ing over $300,000; a carefully selected, rapidly growing library of 13,000 vol- 
umes; a comprehensive museum of natural history; distinct, well-equipped

laboratories for physics, chemistry and biology; a large gymnasium with all 
necessary apparatus; forty-five professors and instructors, who are graduates 
of institutes of highest rank, and a fine student body made up of young men and 
women from all parts of Florida and from many States of the Union. The 
University includes a college of liberal arts, a school of law, a school of tech- 
nology, an academy preparing for any American college, normal and practice 
schools, a business college, a school of art, and a school of music. 

Lake Helen is delightfully located in a great forest of primeval pines, on 
the highest land east of the St. Johns, eight miles from the river, twenty from the 
Atlantic, and 140 from Jacksonville. The air is resinous and pure. It has no 
miasma from the river, nor the harshness of the Coast breeze. There is no 
more healthful and restful place in Florida — probably not in the world. The 
same environments are found in Lake Helen as in the famous resorts in the 
pines in Georgia and further north, with the balmy air and climate of Florida 
additional. 

The lakes abound in fish, bass from 8 to 13 pounds have been caught therein. 
In the wood are pigeons, quail, wild turkeys and other game for the pursuit of the 
sportsman. 

Some of the finest bearing orange groves in the central part of the State are 
within the town limits. Roses bloom in the greatest luxuriance from January 
throughout the entire winter and spring. There are beautiful drives in all direc- 
tions, leading to many interesting places, as well as good bicycle paths. 

Winter Park is celebrated for its elevated situation amid the beautiful lakes 
of Orange County. No less than fourteen shining sheets of water may be seen 
from one of the hotel observatories, and the panorama includes handsome villas 
and fruited orange groves. Well-built, hard-surfaced roads afford pleasant 
drives. The town is the winter home of numerous families from the Xorth and 
West, who have handsome residences here, and who make up a refined and 
cultivated society. W inter Park is the seat of Rollins College, an institution 
of high standard, having an admirablx- chosen faculty, and being equipped 
with all the essentials. It has a full college course, a preparatory school, and 
schools of music, business, fine arts, and industrial and domestic arts ; and thus 
affords opportunity for young people from the North to spend the winter in 
Florida without interruption of their education. From Jacksonville, Winter 
T'ark may be reached over the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic Coast Line, or 
the Florida Fast Coast Railway. 

OcAL.\ is situated on the central ridge of the peninsula, and is midwav be- 
tween Jacksonville and Tam])a, on the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard 
Air Line railways. To the east is Silver Springs and the Ocklawaha River; to 
the west, P>lue Springs. The town is an inqxirtant connnercial center, and is 
■cquipjied with all the conveniences of an up-to-date citv. Clav roads offer 
delightful drives. 



THE EAST COAST.

Altamoxte Sprixgs is located 138 miles south of Jacksonville on the main 
line of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, in the center of Orange County. There 
are many pretty towns, villages and cities in its vicinity : Maitland, Winter Park, 
the location of Rollins College; Orlando, the county seat; and Sanford, the 
terminus of the Clyde navigation on the St. Johns River. Altamonte Springs 
is connected by fine, hard clay roads with these and many other places of 
interest. The country is high, rolling, pine-covered lands, dotted with hundreds 
of spring-fed lakes. There are i,too lakes in Orange County. Bearing orange 
groves are numerous. There are many beautiful winter cottages, beside the 
prosperous homes of those who make this their permanent residence. 

Orlando, the county seat of Orange County, is situated in the central portion 
of the Florida peninsula, 147 miles south of Jacksonville, and 90 miles north 
of Tampa. The land upon which the city is located is elevated 120 feet above 
the sea and has a perfect natural drainage. The entire region is dotted all 
over with pretty lakes, thirteen of them being within the corporate limits of 
Orlando. Fish are plentiful in all of them. Orlando has graded public schools 
and two academies; well-paved streets and 150 miles of modern improved 
highways, unsurpassed for automobiling, wheeling and carriage driving. There 
is here the only polo club south of Camden ; and a modern race course gives 
weeklv trotting matinees during the winter season. 

KissiMMEE is 165 miles south of Jacksonville on the Seaboard Air Line, in 
the center of an excellent hunting and fishing country. The Caloosahatchee 
River, from Kissimmee, is one of the most interesting waterways of Florida, and 
the river and lake and canal trip from Kissimmee to Fort Myers is something 
in character and attraction quite apart from the ordinary travel routes. 

Fort Myers is situated on the south 
bank of the Caloosahatchee River, eighteen 
miles east from the Gulf. It is 140 miles 
south of Tampa, 120 miles north of Key 
\Vest, and is in the same latitude as that of 
Palm Beach. The surrounding country is 
well stocked with game ; and the fishing here 
is famous. Fort Myers has become the 
Mecca for anglers from all parts of the world, 
V uiT (II iniri \iMK~ '^"^l ^o^ ^ number of years past this place has 

been recognized as the greatest tarpon fishing 

resort in the country. The roll of tarpon fishermen includes the name of 

Thomas A. Edison. The largest fish taken in 1904 was caught bv Rev. C. 

Harvey Hartman. of Chatham, N. J. ; it measured 5 feet 8 inches, and weighed 

220 pounds. 




72 THE STANDARD GUIDE. 

Belleair is on the Gulf coast, 25 miles from Tampa, about 200 miles from 
Jacksonville, from which point it is reached by the Atlantic Coast Line. This 
part of the Gulf coast is distinguished for healthfulness and a delightful climate. 
The fishing ranks with the best in Florida, and there are numerous opportunities 
for outdoor sports. The vegetation is tropical, and the scenery attractive. 
Some of the finest orange groves in Florida are here. The cocoanut, waving 
banana and camphor trees, the tangerine and grape fruit, huge rubber and 
cactus plants and the wonderful shell mounds, everywhere to be found in the 
long drives through the palm forests, are an interesting study. 

St. Petersburg, situated on the west coast of Florida, surrounded by the 
waters of Tampa Bay, within the influence of the mild and balmy breezes of the 
Gulf of Mexico, and the health breathing odor from the piney woods affords a 
most delightful place in which to spend the winter months. Long piers 
extending out into the bay afford tourists splendid fishing facilities. Quail 
and other game are abundant in the surrounding country. The town has a 
daily steamer service to Port Tampa and Tampa, also to the Manatee River 
section. St. Petersburg is reached by the Atlantic Coast Line from Jacksonville. 

Key West is reached from Miami by steamboats, which make tn-weekly 
trips. The daylight sail of 165 miles is amid the Florida Keys, with a diversity 
of island scenery which in itself well repays one for the excursion. Key West 
(Spanish Cayo Hiicso — Bone Key) is a low coral island lying sixty miles south of 
Cape Sable, and the town is the southernmost city in the United States. 
Havana is only ninety miles south. The island here at the key of the Gulf is an 
important strategic point ; it has one of the largest naval stations in the country, 
and is defended by Fort Taylor. Not far to the westward, on Garden Key of the 
Dry Tortugas, is the great fortification of Fort Jefferson. The picturesque char- 
acter of the island and town is indicated in our illustration, looking from the 
grim battery of Fort Taylor to the curving shores, with their palms. The cocoa 
and date palms grow in profusion ; and the flora includes the royal poinciana ; 
the sugar maple, whose fragrance fills the air; immense banyans, one in the bar- 
rack yard covering an area of 50 feet ; and gigantic cacti rising in stems 20 feet 
in the air.

PICTURESQUE NASSAU. 

The passage across ihe Gulf Stream to the "Isles of June" is In efifect but a 
slight extension of the Florida tour. From Miami to Nassau the distance is only 
145 miles — a short excursion, which may hardly be said to involve going to sea. 

For the tourist Nassau has many attractions ; its climate is peculiarly grateful 
to the fugitive from the rigors and sudden changes of the Northern winter and 
spring. Basking in floods of perpetual sunshine and swept by soft ocean breezes, 
the Bahamas enjoy a temperature which is remarkably equable ; from October 
to June the mercury ranges from 65 to 80 degrees ; ol^cial records show for 
January 70 degrees, February 71 degrees, March 72 degrees, and April 75 degrees. 
This is a summer land, though the calendar marks the winter season; and the 
whole aspect of the island is of summer and summer life. The houses are built 
with generous piazzas and latticed verandas, and are embowered amid roses, 
jasmines and oleanders. Orange, lemon and lime are everywhere. Slender

palms uplift their plumes against the sky. Here we are in the tropics, but the 
tropics tempered by the gratefully invigorating influences of the sea. 

Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas. The Governor, who is appointed by 
the Crown, resides here. The population numbers 15,000, of whom four-fifths 
are colored. The city is admirably governed ; the white residents are for the most 
part descendants of English colonial families ; there is here that spirit of hospi- 
tality which is never wanting in countries where the doors always stand open. 
The island is of coral formation. The native rock is an admirable road-building 
material ; the roads of New Providence are noted for their excellence, and driving 
and wheeling arc favorite amusements. One may visit the palm groves and make 
test of the milk fresh from the cocoanut ; prove the excellence of the Bahama 
pineapples, newly picked from the stem; or inspect the plantations of sisal hemp, 
which looks like the century plant. 

1 he water excursions include a visit to the Sea Gardens, a point in the chan- 
nel where the bottom is covered with fan-leaf coral of many vivid hues, amid 
which swim fishes of graceful form and brilliant colors. Rowboats are provided 
with glass plates in the bottom, through which the marine life may be studied. 
Night excursions are made to the "Lake of Fire." This is an artificial pond

which was buiU as a storage reservoir for Hve fish and green turtles, and which 
has become phosphorescent in an extraordinary degree. 

Tlie island is of coral formation, and one peculiarity to attract attention is the 
prevailing absence of soil and the astonishing way the trees grow from the rock — 
or, for that matter, on the top of a wall. There are no running streams, no wild 
animals except hares, and of snakes only the innocent and harmless chicken- 
snake. 

Life in Nassau is for the most part repose and light-hearted, care-free indo- 
lence. 'I1ic principal industries of the Bahamas are sponging and wrecking. In 
old days the ]jlace was a secure stronghold of the famous pirate Black- Beard, 
legends of whose escapades, exploits and ferocity still linger about the island. 
During our Civil War Nassau was headcjuartcrs of the blockade runners, who 
sailed from here to run the blockades of Confederate ports ; there were three hun- 
dred such entries and departures in a single year. In those times cotton was king, 
and the value of Nassau imports ami exports amounted in one year to fifty mil- 
lions of dollars.

THE STANDARD GUIDE. 




THE QUEEN S STAIRCASE. 



The feature of Nassau which is most pleasing is the wonderfully brilliant 
coloring of the sea, in shades of green and pink, purple and blue, in all the rich 
tones and combinations and changing efifects of the sky and clouds at sunset. The 
coloring is due in part to the character of the bottom ; a sand bottom gives the 
light color, and stretches of vegetable growth cause the dark shading. The 
sheltered harbor, the shining beaches of outlying keys, with the vivid green of 
their verdure, and the deepening tones of the sea, blending in the distance with 
the sky, so that one may not determine where the sea ends and the sky begins — 
all this, as the sun lowers in the west, aflfords an entrancing scene, to look upon 
which is the rarest pleasure in Nassau and the best remembered picture of a 
holiday in the Bahamas. 

The Queen's Staircase is a series of steps cut in the side of an old stone quarry 
and leading up from the street below to the height on which stands Fort Fin- 
castle. The fort, built in 1789, is now a ruin. Its resemblance to a vessel has given 
it the name of Ship Fort, and the likeness is enhanced by the flags on the staff 
which signal the sighting of ships at sea. Fort Charlotte, a massive fortification

hewn out of the soHd rock, on the hill west of the town, also serves as a signal 
station to report to the town the movements of shipping. The fort, completed 
in 1788, was named after Queen Charlotte. An obelisk on the hill near the fort 
is a mark for pilots entering the harbor. On the esplanade at the foot of the hill 
a modest monument commemorates the heroism of five men who in 1861 lost their 
lives "whilst gallantly volunteering their services in the efifort to save two men 
belonging to the pilot boat which had been upset by a heavy sea." A third forti- 
fication is Fort Montague, on the shore at the eastern entrance to the harbor ; 
like the others, it is in ruin; and the old cannon have no story to tell of valiant 
defense against a Spanish foe. 

Among the novel forms of vegetation which interest the visitor the most 
remarkable is the ancient ceiba or silk cotton tree near the public buildings, whose 
immense buttresses are shown in our illustration. Close by is a grove of the 
royal poinciana. Another tree to attract notice is the whistling bean, named from 
the sound produced by the wind blowing upon its seed pods ; it is also called "old 
woman's tongue" because it is never quiet. The small boys importune the 
stranger to buy the "sand box l^ean," a seed pod which takes its name from the 
old ink sanding box, which is resembles. 



NASSAU. 8 1 

The negro settlements of Congo Town and Grant's Town, lying just outside 
of Nassavi on the west, are extremely curious collections of thatched huts and 
little houses, with cocoanut palms and oranges, and diminutive garden patches, 
surrounded by walls of rock. It is all rock here ; when they plant they use the 
axe instead of the spade. The people are descendants of slaves and of companies 
of Africans rescued from slave ships by British men-of-war, and given asylum 
here. They have preserved many of the primitive African ways. Everything 
tells of an extreme simplicity of living, the barest of housing and the most meagre 
fare ; it is all on a small scale ; even the people themselves are small. Among 
the novel customs of Congo Town are the night markets, when fires are kindled 
bv the roadside, for the display of vegetables and fruit ; and the fire dances, in 
which the dancing is about a fire outdoors. 




COLUMBUS CATHEDRAL IN HAVANA. 



Cuba. 



jii*# The "Standard Guide to Cuba" and the "Standard Guide to Havana," the new handbooks for tourists, 
published by Messrs. Foster & Reynolds, are very complete in scope, beautiful in illustration and prac- 
tical in their usefulness to travelers. See advertisement on another page. 

Cuba is truly tropical. The lush vegetation is that of the torrid zone. The 
encircling seas give the island a climate which, in winter and spring, is delicious. 
As surely as the sunrise, comes the sea breeze to temper the heat. The atmos- 
phere is marvelously clear and transparent. The beauty of the scenery is a 
revelation — the tinted seas, the mountain ranges, lovely valleys and highly culti- 
vated plains in a succession of panoramas which surprise and delight. The 
attractions are endless. The island is healthful ; there is no yellow fever, nor 
any more danger of it than in the Southern States. Travel is safe and con- 
venient. The railroads have modern equipment and are well managed. The 
steamships — the Herrera Line on the north shore and the Menendez Line on 
the south coast — are clean and commodious and set good tables, and the trip 
on either coast from one land-locked harbor to another is an enjoyable ex- 
perience. After Havana and Matanzas, the most interesting place to visit is 
Santiago, and after that comes Cienfuegos. 

Havana is considered one of the most picturesque cities of the Western 
Hemisphere, and is extremely quaint in many of its aspects, and therefore inter- 
esting. Its architecture and streets are of a distant past, while its bustle and 
commercial activity remind one of the modern metropolis. There are enough 
sights in and around the city to keep the tourist busy as long as he elects to 
remain. 

One of the most interesting of trips is that to Matanzas, located on the 
United Railways of Havana, some fifty-five miles from Havana. At a half 
hour's drive from the city, Cuba's most famous natural attractions may be 
seen— the Yumuri Valley and Bellamar Caves. The United Railways of Havana 
issue coupon tickets including the round-trip fare between Havana and Matanzas, 
an excellent lunch, a volanta (or carriage) drive through the best streets of the 
town, and to the Yumuri Valley and Bellamar Caves, and admission to the 
caves. Parties leave Havana daily under the conduction of a competent guide- 
interpreter in the employ of the company — whose services are absolutely gratis. 

The Cuban Railroad, which runs from Santa Clara to Santiago, a distance of 
374 miles, is of the American standard and equipment, and afifords for the tourist 
not only many scenic attractions, but the best means of learning the great 
agricultural and commercial resources of the island, which are awaiting develop- 
ment. The Cuba Company has acquired hundreds of scfuare miles of fertile 
farming lands along its line, and has devised a system of farm villages, in which 
groups of thirty and forty acre farms radiate from a central cluster of farm- 
houses, built around a common — an admirable system, which makes for sociabil- 
ity and the amenities of living. 



On the IVay Home, 

Savannah, with its twenty-four parks and its broad streets shaded with 
magnificent oaks, its many handsome residences, and its flower gardens which 
bloom the year around, is one of the most attractive cities in the South. Forsyth 
Park, the Pulaski Monument, and the Jasper ]\Ionument should have attention, 
while the busy scenes of Bay street and the river front offer an excellent oppor- 
tunity to study the vast commercial interests of which Savannah is the center. 
J3onaventure Cemetery is renowned for its ancient live-oaks, trees as majestic and 
impressive as any to be found on the Atlantic Coast. 

Charleston is full of objects of interest to every American. Here in the 
harbor is Fort Sumter, with dismantled walls, but flying the Stars and Stripes 
above it. At Moultrieville is the grave of Osceola, the Seminole, who died while 
imprisoned in Fort Moultrie. The new fortifications just finished by the United 
States Government are the largest in extent on the Atlantic coast. The Mag- 
nolia Gardens, filled with japonicas, rose bushes and azaleas, present a spectacle 
of floral magnificence, and the continent may be challenged to equal the superb 
efifect. Artists make pilgrimages to Charleston in the spring to paint its won- 
derful flowers. The Chicora Golf Club has a fine course, with cozy club house, 
where tourists will be welcome. There are miles of fine shell roads for the car- 
riage and bicvcle, leading along broad avenues lined with handsome residences 
and through groves of ancient oaks draped with silver moss. On the road 
around the Battery an excellent view of the harbor and many historical points of 
interest is obtained. Then there is old St. Michael's, the ante-Revolutionary 
Church, with its historic chimes and tall tower. 

PiNEHURST, North Carolina, is situated in a pine-clad sand-hill region of 
marked healthfulness and having a genial and equable climate. The town is 
unique; it was laid out by landscape architects as a beautiful residence park; is 
entirely under one ownership and control, and has been developed into a model 
village of refined homes. Each year, as its fame goes abroad, it attracts a grow- 
mg number of permanent residents and tourists tarrying on the way home from 
South to North. It is reached by both the Southern Railway and the Seaboard 
Air Line. 

Chattanooga may well have a place in one's itinerary. Historical associa- 
tions cluster thick about it — Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Chicka- 
mauga. The National Park, to which State after State has contributed its 
memorials of those who served in the Civil War, has made Chattanooga a point 
of pious pilgrimage for many thousands. The view from the blufT of Lookout 
Mountain is one of the most imposing and at the same time one of the most beauti- 
ful mountain prospects to be found in America. 



ON THE WAY HOME. 



85 



Aiken and Augusta are the winter homes of many northern people, and are 
favorite stopping places on the way home. Both have ample resources for the 
entertainment of the visitor. 

Camden has abiding interest for the tourist because of the graces and adorn- 
ments lavished upon it by nature and the historical associations which cling to it. 

Richmond, the venerable capital of the James, has many attractions in its 
beautiful site and picturesque surroundings, and its historic associations. The 
Capitol building, which dates from the last century, contains with other treasured 
heirlooms of the past Houdon's Statue of Washington, a copy of which is in the 
National Statuary Hall at Washington. Capitol Square has for chief adorn- 
ment Crawford's noble work, the Washington Monument, and here, too, are 
statues of Clay and Stonewall Jackson, and elsewhere the Lee Monument. 

Old Point Comfort holds an unique place. Situation, climate, scenery and 
surroundings conspire to make it the most popular of all-the-year-around 
seaside resorts. The locality is one rendered ever famous by the momentous 
events which took place here in the sea conflicts of the Civil War. From the 
hotel piazzas one looks out over the broad waters where, in their terrific duel, 
the Monitor and the Merrimac changed the modes of naval warfare. Old Point 
is the seat of Fort Monroe, the largest fortification on the continent, and Hamp- 
ton Roads is a rendezvous of the White Squadron. Proximity to Washington 
and ease of access from New York make it the favorite resort of many distin- 
guished people, and its social features most brilliant. 

Hot Springs, Virginia, on the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, is at an elevation 
of 2,500 feet in a picturesque valley, amid magnificent mountain surroundings. 
The springs, which give the place its name, have been famous for generations ; 
to-day Hot Springs maintains its prestige as one of the most important and 
fashionable health and pleasure resorts of the continent.

And the Beautiful Sapphire Country. 

"The Land of the Sky" is that portion of Western North CaroHna lying 
between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Iron, Smoky and Unaka ranges of 
Eastern Tennessee. It is a superb elevated plateau, the lowest point of which 
is more than 2,000 feet above the level of the sea. It is protected in winter from 
chilling winds by the surrounding mountains. Geographically, it is situated in 
the most favored portion of the temperate zone. Topographically, it is moun- 
tainous, and is largely covered with forests in which the long leaf or turpentine 
pine predominates. It is traversed by splendid rivers, and dotted with beautiful 
skies. Its scenery is unrivaled, even by the more famous localities of the far 
West, and its accessibility is such that it can be reached either from the North, 
the East, the South, or the Middle West in a few hoiu-s, whereas the scenic 
glories of the West requires several da}s in which to reach them. 

To reach this favored section the traveler from the East should take one of the 
through trains of the Southern Raihvay, through Washington, Lynchburg, and 
Salisbury, N. C. Close connection is made at Salisbury with the main line trains 
to and from the East, and elegant Pullman drawing room sleeping cars afford 
superb service, so that passengers from New York can take the through Pullman 
sleeping car at that point in the evening, and the following day at noon reach 
Asheville or Hot Springs in perfect comfort and without change of cars. 

From Florida and the South the through trains of the Southern Railway take 
the traveler through Columbia and Spartanburg, affording through Pullman 
car service. 

From the North and West the most direct route is through Cincinnati, or 
through Chattanooga and Knoxville. 

So it matters not from what direction you may be coming, passengers will 
find the Southern Railway prepared to afford the very best schedule and 
through car service. 



THE LAND OF THE SKY 



87 



"The Land of the Sky" is about equal to Switzerland in area, and greatly 
resembles it in its majestic natural beauty and sublimity. The greater profusion 
of vegetation here, however, gives a softness of efifect to its^narvelous land- 
scapes that mark the principal difference between this country and that of 
the European Alps. 

The charm of this land is real and apparent; its delights arc an actuality. 
Perhaps the most notable and complete surrender to the fascination of its 
physical charms is its choice by George Vandcrbilt, Esq., as a site for his magnifi- 
cent estate, "Biltmore," within two miles of the city of Asheville, and nearly the 
exact center of this scenic wonderland. Mr. Vanderbilt's residence— which is 
said to have cost more than $3,000,000— occupies the most commanding site in 
this splendid domain, and is considered the masterpiece of its designer, the late 
Richard M. Hunt, America's most famous architect. 

Asheville, that Mecca of health-seekers, the spot best known among the 
resorts of this splendid region, stands higher above the sea level (2,288 feet) than 
any other city in America east of the Rockies. The visitor will find Asheville 
a progressive, modern city. Its streets are well paved and lighted, and trolley 
lines run to all the 
suburbs. The city 
has an opera house, 
clubs, an art gallery, 
a public library, a 
handsome new audi- 
torium, and hotels 
which enjoy wide- 
spread and well de- 
served repute for 
their excellence. The 
two largest houses, 
the Battery Park and 
the Kcnilworth Inn, 
are each beautifully 
located, the former in 
a handsome private 
park in the very cen- 
ter of the city. Ken- 
ilworth Inn is located 
about two miles from 
the city proper, at 
Biltmore, where is 
also situated Mr. "^"^ ^^^^ ^^ "^^^ ^'^"^ '^ filled with scenic surprises.

inn, is also a very excellent hotel, as is also the Victoria Inn. There are quitt 
a number of hotels of less importance which afford excellent accommodations 
at moderate prices. 

Stretching from Asheville on the northwest for thirty-four miles is the lovely 
French Broad River, along which the Southern Railway winds. The foaming 
stream here darts out and in between rocky cliffs now gleaming in a broad 
patch of sunlight, now leaping along in the shadow of great boulders, ever 
fascinating in its wild and unrestrained beauty — a water sprite on a madcap 
chase. 

High among these mountains, in a beautiful valley, are the Hot Springs of 
North Carolina, which yearly offer relief to hundreds in search of health and 
strength. But the crowning glory of the place is its hot waters, which are 
thrown up from the earth in a number of springs, the temperature of which 
ranges from 96 to no degrees. The curative properties of the water of these 
springs is shown in the marked remedial effect in diseases of the liver and 
kidneys, in rheumatism, gout, and sciatica. Persons suft'ering from dyspepsia, 
insomnia, or nervous troubles also find great relief. 

The Mountain Park Hotel, located here, is comfortable and modern in its 
appointments. 

Another highly favored region is on the branch of the Southern Railway lead- 
ing from Asheville to Spartanburg, S. C, including Tryon, Saluda, Henderson- 
ville. Flat Rock, and the beautiful Sapphire country. 

The Sapphire country is a region full of delightful surprises to the tourist, 
sportsman and health-seeker. No other section contains more clear, cold and 
wonderfully picturesque streams, so many grand waterfalls, such wide-sweeping 
mountain views, such beautiful lakes and verdure-clad valleys. 

Lakes Toxaway, Fairfield and Sapphire, in the heart of North Carolina moun- 
tains, are duplicates of the most beautiful gems of the Adirondacks. Nowhere 
else in the South, at this altitude, are there such bodies of water of wonderful 
beauty and greatly varied characters. The hotels of the Toxaway Company — 
Toxaway Inn, Lake Toxaway, N. C, altitude 3.100 feet; Fairfield Inn, Lake 
Fairfield, N. C, altitude 3,300 feet; Sapphire Inn, Lake Sapphire, N. C, alti- 
tude 3,300 feet ; Franklin Inn, Brevard, N. C, altitude 2,250 feet ; The Lodge, 
Mount Toxaway, N. C, altitude 5,000 feet, su])crljly located in this beautiful 
region — are large and modern, and the service and cuisine are e(|ual t«:» that of 
the best metropolitan hostelries. 

To those who have been spending a time under the bright and languid skies 
of Florida, and who do not wish to risk the sudden transition from summer to 
winter, which threatens all who return north, until spring has fairly set in. the 
beautiful mountain region of western North Carolina holds out alluring attrac- 
tions, because of its superb and unsurpassed natural scenery, and its excellent 
climate, free from extremes of heat and cold.

THE VEDDER COLLECTION. 



" I 'HE MUSEUM belonging to the St. Augustme Institute of Science and 
Historical Society is now shown in the old house corner of Bay and Treasury 
Streets. The house is one of the oldest in the city. It has never been remodeled. 
The cedar beams are uncovered just as they were when the house was built centuries 
ago. The immense old fire-place is of itself well worth seeing. The room in which 
the fire-place is shown was for many years the City Prison, while the remainder of 
the house was devoted to the purposes of the Court. 

The Museum now comprises the well known Vedder Collection which the late 
Dr. Vedder was so many years in gathering and which covers so completely the 
Natural History of Florida. 

To this are added the other Collections of the Society, comprising prehistoric 
implements and weapons from the shell heaps of the East Coast of Florida, showing 
all that we know of the prehistoric dwellers in Florida. Implements and weapons 
from the Indian burial mounds. Relics from the Spanish occupation and from the 
early wars. Maps relating to early Florida. These fill five rooms in tlie building. 
The whole collection is well worth seeing by every visitor to St. Augustine.

THE INN 



AT ORMOND BEACH, 
OHMOND, FLORIDA 








'J'HE INN is situated on the bluff 
overlooking tiie ocean. It is 
nearly two miles from the railway 
station and half a mile from Hotel 
Ormond; connected with both by 
horse cars, and with the latter by 
plank walk.

air is beneficial in cases of overwork 
and nervous prostration, it acts as a 
tonic, sharpens the appetite and at 
the same time is quieting and induces 
sleep. 

Ormond is noted for its shell roads 
through tropical forests; the ocean 
beach, with surf fishing and bathing 
every month in the year; its luxuriant 
orange gioves and the famous 
Tomoka River Trip.

TAKE-DOWN REPEATING SHOTGUNS 

The notion that one must pay from fifty dollars upwards in order to get 
a good shotgun has been pretty effectively dispelled since the advent of 
the Winchester Repeating Shotgun. These guns are sold within reach 
of almost everybody's purse. They are safe, strong, reliable and handy. 
When it comes to shooting qualities no gun made beats them. They 
are made in 12 and 16 gauge. Step into a gun store and examine one. 

FREE : Send name and address on a postal card for our large illustrated catatozue.
